    I have been noticing this from time to time and it is never on a consistent basis. Sometimes it goes days between events. Problem is I cannot duplicate this. I am asking this to see if anyone has observed this.

    When running a skinned application on a rare occasion during starting the application will disappear. The application is still running because it still shows in the taskbar and I can close it from the taskbar icon.

    I am using the latest Alpha Skins (v13.18). Delphi is Tokyo 10.3.1. Windows is 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1.

    Recently I reported a somewhat similar problem when using Blend On Moving set to true with Extended Boarders set to false. That problem was fixed. I am wondering if some residual is still there in some other form.

    As a last thought, there are some skins like Windows 10 that I have never seen this and others like Black Box and Custom BG 3 that it has occurred. Since I use Windows 10 as my default skin it can be weeks between testing skins operations. So this rare problem could be very old.

    Like I said, I can not duplicate this one a consistent basis. If you have seen this, please add a comment. Thanks.

    This window is just not visible? Or, maybe, it's placed at the background and covered by other windows?

    It momentarily shows then disappears. I went back and looked very old code that had been in place for a long time and removed it as it seemed unnecessary anymore. I then did a movie of for about 100 minutes and used a looping program to start and stop my main program which produced almost 300 start/stop occurrences. I used Custom BG 3 skin. I looked at the video and did not produce any problem occurrences. Still not satisfied. I am planning on producing an 8 hour video. If there are no occurrences then the code removal did the job. That code has been in there so long that I forgot why I did it (unfortunately I did not make a comment). It was in the dpr source just before Application.Run. Never had problems with that code before but within the past month or so was when this disappearance started occurring.

    So far no repeat. Just close this topic.
